Page: 1/28 [prev] [index] [next] - Taking the plane from Makaroa

Notes: The Siberia experience is the result of a scenic flight company getting together with a Jet boat company. It starts with a 30 minute flight from Makaroa over Mt Aspiring national park to a landing strip in the Siberia valley. This is followed by a two hour walk round the corner into the next valley containing the Wilkin river. From there it's a wet 30 minutes by jet boat back to Makaroa. It was a great day not least because I had amazing luck with the weather, which was simply perfect: clear skies and no wind.
